The ninth piece of my 11th collection of Native American inspired jewelry. Techniques involved in producing this hair comb were taught from the Navajo Native American Nation to the Zuni People in the 1870's. Basicly rocks are carved with symbols and then hand stamped into silver jewelry. This is made of solid sterling silver. Measures over 1 1/2 inches wide and 3 1/2 inches long. Great stamping present all over the top, just to add some spunk! Available polished, satin, or antique finish, please let me know which you'd like, when you make your order, but only shown antiqued here in all photos.

Flowing forth from the heart of its head designer and founder, Bruce Snell, every Alberto Juan creation is shaped from a particular point of view, usually detailed more specifically in its description.
There's no way to put your finger on Alberto Juan designs, with each new piece and unfolding collection, the inspiration varies and is as multi-faceted as Bruce has inspirations or dimensions of personality .
He is continually influenced by modern trends as well as recalling the eras of jewelry's antiquity. With each new evolution, new insights re-shape and revive those periods with a fresh yet classic perspective, allowing us all to re-live in moments long past.
The one of a kind collection comes from this love of vintage and estate finds of which various parts are repurposed to fit a certain theme, often reflected in its name.
In June of 2007, Bruce began casting his first collection of Ram motif jewelry and in early 2008, incorporated the Alberto Juan LCC.
